Rekindle

A coach grounded in your reading

Review your book higlights in style

Rekindle turns the passages you highlight into short, real conversations — so the ideas you marked don’t just sit there. It remembers, it connects, and it asks the question you’d have asked yourself.

No spam. One note when it opens, nothing else.

An open book lit by ember light

One library

Every passage you’ve ever marked, in one place

Connect Kindle or Apple Books. Rekindle pulls in your highlights and keeps every book you’ve read together — the start of a practice, not another inbox.

A stack of books with highlights gathered together

Reflection sessions

A real conversation about one passage

Not a quiz, not a summary. A short session that opens with some of your own highlights, quoted back to you, and a good question. You think out loud; it follows where you go.

When you’re done, it will extract insights from the session and save them to your library.

“The trouble is that you think you have time.”Jack Kornfield, Buddha’s Little Instruction Book
You marked this two years ago. What did you have time for then that you don’t now?
Honestly? Reading something like this.

Pick how you want to be met

Four ways to be in conversation

Some days you want to be drawn out; some days you want to be pushed. Choose the voice that fits, and change it whenever you like.

Reflective

default

Mirrors back what you say, with a gentle question — so you hear your own thought more clearly.

Socratic

asks

Asks questions; never tells you what to think. You do the arriving.

Interpretive

connects

Brings its own reading. If three highlights from three books circle the same problem, it says so.

Challenging

pushes

Pushes back when you’re being evasive, vague, or a little too comfortable.


It draws on your whole shelf

Bring a hard question; it pulls in what you’ve read

Stuck on something? Ask. Rekindle searches your own highlights and brings the relevant passages into the conversation — across different books, different years. If three highlights from three books circle the same problem, it tells you.

You’re not getting generic advice. You’re getting your own best reading, back when you need it.

That’s a really hard question. Can you pull in some advice from my other book highlights?
searching your highlights · time & finitude

“The day will never arrive when you finally have everything under control.”

Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks
You marked this last spring. It sits oddly next to what you just said about wanting to “get on top of things first.” What if there is no first?

A memory, not a profile

It remembers earlier conversations

Rekindle keeps a quiet memory of what matters to you — the threads you keep returning to, what surfaced last time, how you like to be met. Weeks later it picks a thread back up where you left it.

No need to configure. It just knows things, the way a friend who’s been listening does.

Last month you landed on “enough is a decision, not a finish line.” Does that still hold this week?

Insights, in your phrasing

Your own words, saved

The most valuable thing in a session is the sentence you couldn’t have said before it started. Rekindle keeps those — in your phrasing, never paraphrased — and lets you search across them as themes emerge over time.

Saved from your sessions

“Enough is a decision, not a finish line.”

Well-timed, not relentless

Old passages come back around

A highlight you marked months ago resurfaces at the right moment — a gentle invitation to sit with it again. Ideas don’t slip away the week after you read them; they come back when they can do some good.

A candle with embers rising

The weekly digest

A letter every week

Once a week, a short letter from a coach who’s been paying attention — not a productivity report. A theme it noticed, a few of your highlight-and-insight pairs, and a couple queued for next time. Each one taps straight into a session.
